PhilOhio:

For the 9mm, I have had great success with the new Hornady carbide dies.

For FMJ, I use the standard expander, whereas, for lead, I use the expander they sell for the .38 Super. This combination seems to do the trick perfectly.

Yes, by all means, use a carbide set, as it eliminates the need for all most all lubrication.

I'd be interested in the exact loads you have developed, as I have been perfecting loads for the Luger since about 1978.

Lugers will operate perfectly with a proper set of springs and correctly crafted ammo.

Hope to hear about those loads!!
